Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, plant your bulbs in autumn in a location that receives full sun. Ensure the soil or compost is well-drained; avoid heavy clay soils that hold moisture throughout the winter, as this can cause the bulbs to rot. Plant the bulbs at a depth roughly double their size. Compatibility-wise, these irises work beautifully alongside other compact bulbs like Muscari or early Crocus. After flowering, do not trim the leaves back immediately. Allow the foliage to fade and die back naturally; this process is essential for the bulb to store energy for next year’s display. Once the foliage is completely yellowed and dry, it can be removed.
